PHILADELPHIA, May 2.-After having to-day's
game well in hand. the Philadelphia infield went
to pieces in the fifth inning, permitting the Bos
ton club to run up six runs, not one of which was
earned. Up to this time the pitching of Bufinton
had been first class, but he seemed to become
demoralzed by the errors. and after that he was
hit rather freely. The fielding on either side
were unfortunate in getting their errors to-
gether. Kelly distinguished himself at right by
making two muffs, of which of the
rankest kind. He came in to catch in the sixth.
and his presence behind the bat seemed to give
the visitors the confidence they lacked in the
early part of the game. Score

chlna's Great Wall a Myth.
London Time

Abbe I.arrieu, formerly missionary in China. has published pamphlet, Paris Leroux," on the great wall of China, 10 demonstrate that this structure does not exist and has never existed The popular belief is that this wall stretches for about 500 leagues across China, from the sea to the province of kan-Su, that it Is wholly constructed of cut stone, and thirty cubits high by twelve broad. 1t Is believed to run straight out rc- gardless of obstacles, going down val. leys and up mountains without a break, except such as time has made, along its whole course. This notion originated with Jesuit named Mar tini, who visited China about 1850, and his description was followed by subsequent writers. NJ. Larrieu has lived for several years under what would have been the shadow of the Great Wall, had there been one he has studied the writings of recent writers-especially Abbe Hue-who have crossed the llne of the alleged wall in various places; he has like wise studied the Chinese history of the subject, and his conclusions are as follows: CD The term "Great Wall' Is at the bottom of all the misunder- standing, and it comes from the Chi nese expression, "the wall of the ten thousand Il :" CD as described by Mar tini and other writers who have copied him, this wall does not and never did exist; (S) Chinese emperor undoubt- edly did conceive the idea of grea; wall from the Gulf of Lia- Long on the the east to kan-Su on the west, and this, though never realized, had beginning; (D all along the pro- posed line of the wall square towers of earth, or of earth faced with brick, were constructed at considerable dis tances from each other, but these were never joined together by any wall, as was orig inally intended. In some of the dciiles along the route there are walls, but these were intended to close these particular presages, or they are merely the walls of villages, and are not parts of larger scheme. Hence the only part of the scheme of | the Great Wall carried out was the construction of these scattered towers the rest never went beyond the brain that conceived st it was never more than fancy, and it is now myth. This huge Chinese wall, says Abbe Larrieu, is a huge Chinese lie, and as for the million soldiers which were said to guard 1t night and day, they are myths likewise. The alleged Great Wall is Il favorite excursion for Europeans visiting Pekin, and such a question as whether it exists at all or not should be an easy one to settle definitely.
